The places I love... Tokyo

The second post about the places I love. 
After Paris, Tokyo!




Tokyo, August 2009
I love EVERYTHING about Tokyo and Japan, bust since I decided that my collages of the "places I love" series (can I call it like that?? Can I?? Please! It sounds so cool...) should contain just a few things, and mainly shallow or frivolous ones, here's my pick.
(I don't even mention Japanese art or literature: it would be impossible to choose just one image!)


From upper left, clockwise:

- Tokyo street-style n° 1 (from streetsofjapan.tumblr.com)
- Tokyo food - Tonkotsu ramen (this is the best I've ever tasted, it was a small and old place in Chiba)
- Mangas and animes (in the pic: Ai Yazawa's Paradise Kiss)
- Japanese actors Ueno Juri and Eita
- Tokyo street-style n°2 (from streetsofjapan.tumblr.com)
- In the center: Japanese fashion, Yohji Yamamoto

Everytime I use or look the pictures I took in Japan (end even when I see Japan pictures and posts in other blogs!) I feel so much nostalgy... I want to go back *sad Al*

Now I'm off to cook something, have a very nice week-end all of you and I'll be back soon! (with some new drawings I hope!)

    You have great sense of observation, I think I would have never been able to see that alone!
